Bayshore Heritage

[dogg57]

LOWER TOWNSHIP — A new heritage trail designed to promote the Delaware Bay coast jogs inland as soon as it reaches the township.
That has Mayor Mike Beck, who found out about the apparent snub at a recent chamber of commerce meeting, a bit upset.
The proposed 124-mile Bayshore Heritage Byway, funded by the U.S. Federal Highway Administration and implemented through the New Jersey Department of Transportation, hugs the bay coast in Salem and Cumberland counties. It also stays along the bayshore in northern and central Cape May County. When it gets to Lower Township, it heads inland on Route 47 to link with Seashore Road.

Cumberland County officials and Bayshore advocates presented a 26-point Bayshore recovery plan at Tuesday night's Cumberland County freeholder meeting.
The plan outlined 26 individual projects that the Bayshore Redevelopment Committee believe are key to protecting businesses, property, natural beauty, culture, livelihood and lifestyles of the region and the people living in it.
Meghan Wren, director of the Bayshore Center in Bivalve, and Jim Watson, director of county economic development, each spoke at the meeting and laid out the plan.
Some of the individual projects they laid out include: bulkhead reconstruction; focusing on tourism and marketing of the Bayshore; levee restoration; creek maintenance; shoreline protection and beach/dune/marsh restoration and reestablishment.
